**D\_Odds** and **gatopescado** , I suspect we have a lot of records in common. 🙂 OK, my two contributions… Guitar: Steve Howe Bass: Tony Levin Keysboards: Patrick Moraz Drums: Neal Peart Vocals: Enya Basic 70’s progressive rock band, with some celtic influences. My second band is a little different: Drums: Doesn’t really matter who, but 2 drummers doing the Burundi-influenced thing (think Adam and the Ants or Bow-Wow-Wow) Guitar: Joe Satriani Horns: Tower of Power Vocals: Barry White toss in a generic Rhythm Guitar and Bassist, and see what happens. ---

Boy, is this a thread that can acheive no consensus! Vox: Daryl Hall (I know…I know…but the guy had blue-eyed soul down **pat**.) Electric Guitar: Scotty Moore, I suppose. Acoustic Guitar: Robin Bullock (Trust me, he can play.) Bass Guitar: Geddy Lee Drums: Fred LeBlanc (Not the most technically proficient player. But he gets a mean groove going.) ---

Vocals: Peter Gabriel Lead Guitar: Steve Morse and/or Phil Keaggy and/or Mark Knopfler Rhythm Guitar: Keith Richards Bass: Chris Squire Drums: Neil Peart, or the guy in the _Dave Matthews Band_ whose name I can’t recall right now, or the Indian guy who used to do some drumming for Bowie. Keyboards: Keith Green (Good call, **Cardinal**!) or Elton John Fiddle (I love fiddles): Mark O’Connor Band name: _The Band Too Good To Exist._ There’s so much talent out there it’s hard to pick. I can’t stand leaving out Mick Fleetwood and Clapton and Ginger Baker and Hendrix and Steve Howe and Geddy Lee and Lennon and McCartney and Stewart Copeland and \ And that’s just in the rock and roll realm. ---
